Well it's been a bit! Happy New year! I think i do alot of reflecting in this cold month of January! I am quite focused on living everyday for positive purpose. But.. It was the month 3 years ago that I was diagnosed with the big scary C word! Forever etched in mind but not going back there always marching forward! I am stronger and stronger mentally and physically as I get father out! I am very Happy to say that I am 2.5 years in remission. I will always count and celebrate as the milestones are every thing! I still can't seem to completely stay away from The cancer center, as I still get my checks. But.. I have moved to once a year for my breast surgeon, 6 mos for my "blunt and bold" oncologist. Don't get me wrong always will be grateful for my team but.. when an appointment is coming up it does bring up negative emotions. I am now much better at not letting it affect me, I am
A survivor! A Thriver!! I am grateful!!!
I am going back in for Lymphadema PT prevention, it hurts a bit but i push threw it like a boss.. chatting it up with the best DPT around.. Jen! She's great and she and Gaye have really helped me feel supported thru my journey. I've had my labs done and they are good! I guess I get it less often since I'm not on the Lynpsrza. My energy has gotten much better in the last month! Two months I guess it took .. I was on that for two years!
So... I went to another retreat.. imagereborn in Utah! It was awesome. I was alil nervous but it felt freeing and I was excited to meet a few other ladies with similar journeys! Wonderful weekend. So peaceful. I will keep doing them as they do so much for you and I love meeting others.:) When I went on the retreat I was still contemplating what to do about immune therapy. I wanted to be off it all n not take anymore meds. I felt DONE! No one quite understands the side effects and all struggles they cause on a daily basis! These ladies along with family and my pushy conscience.. told me take it Jen.. just try the Tamoxifen again! I was given this one as soon as I was diagnosed but then quickly went in to chemo and could not tolerate it! Anyway I'm back on it... and hoping I can somehow manage for 2 more year's minimum as he requested. I will do whatever it takes to be here for my family. So.. life is good. Busy! Loving my baby mama business,as it's doing well, love the LC work At hospital and I even have something new in the works! I guess I like to stay busy. I have plunged hard into Pilates, added mat Pilates, some spin and hope to do much more in the fitness arena. Staying positive helps propel you forward. Move your body! That too helps every thing! We got this!😊🙏
